士師記 4
1 厄胡得死後，以色列子民又行了上主視為惡的事。
And the children of Israel again did evil in the eyes of the Lord when Ehud was dead.
2 因此上主將他們交在客納罕王雅賓手中，他當時在哈祚爾為王，他的軍長息色辣駐紮在哈洛舍特哥因。
And the Lord gave them up into the hands of Jabin, king of Canaan, who was ruling in Hazor; the captain of his army was Sisera, who was living in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
3 因為雅賓王有九百輛鐵甲車，極力壓迫以色列子民已有二十年之久，以色列子民遂呼籲上主。
Then the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord; for he had nine hundred iron war-carriages, and for twenty years he was very cruel to the children of Israel.
4 當時有一位女先知德波辣是拉丕多特的妻子，作以色列的民長。
Now Deborah, a woman prophet, the wife of Lapidoth, was judge of Israel at that time.
5 她常坐在厄弗辣因山地、辣瑪和貝特耳中間那棵德波辣棕樹下，以色列子民都到她那裏去聽判斷。
(And she had her seat under the palm-tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth-el in the hill-country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel came up to her to be judged.)
6 她打發人從納斐塔里刻德士把阿彼諾罕的兒子巴辣克叫來，對他說：「這是上主以色列的上主的命令：你要從納斐塔里和則步隆子孫中，率領一萬人向大博爾山進發：
And she sent for Barak, the son of Abinoam, from Kedesh-naphtali, and said to him, Has not the Lord, the God of Israel, given orders saying, Go and get your force into line in Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
7 我要引領雅賓的將軍息色辣和他的車輛軍隊到克雄河畔，到你跟前來，把他交在你手中。」
And I will make Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his war-carriages and his forces, come against you at the river Kishon, where I will give him into your hands.
8 巴辣克對她說：「你若同我去，我就去；你若不同我去，我就不去。」
And Barak said to her, If you will go with me then I will go; but if you will not go with me I will not go.
9 她回答說：「我一定同你去，但是你此行並無光榮，因為上主要把息色辣交在一個女子手中。」於是德波辣起身同巴辣克往刻德士去了。
And she said, I will certainly go with you: though you will get no honour in your undertaking, for the Lord will give Sisera into the hands of a woman. So Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10 巴辣克召集則步隆和納斐塔里的子孫到刻德士去，跟他上去的有一萬人，德波辣也同他上去了。
Then Barak sent for Zebulun and Naphtali to come to Kedesh; and ten thousand men went up after him, and Deborah went up with him.
11 那時刻尼人赫貝爾離開別的刻尼人，離開梅瑟的姻親曷巴布的子孫，在刻德士附近的匝阿納寧橡樹旁支搭了帳幕。
Now Heber the Kenite, separating himself from the rest of the Kenites, from the children of Hobab, the brother-in-law of Moses, had put up his tent as far away as the oak-tree in Zaanannim, by Kedesh.
12 有人報告息色辣；阿彼諾罕的兒子巴辣克已上了大博爾山。
And word was given to Sisera that Barak, the son of Abinoam, had gone up to Mount Tabor.
13 息色辣遂召集了他所有的車輛，即那九百輛鐵甲車，和隨從他的全軍，從哈洛舍特哥因出來。到了克雄河畔。
So Sisera got together all his war-carriages, nine hundred war-carriages of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles as far as the river Kishon.
14 德波辣對巴辣克說：「起來! 因為今天上主已把息色辣交在你手中。上主不是走在你前面嗎﹖」於是巴辣克從大博爾山下來，那一萬人跟在他後面。
Then Deborah said to Barak, Up! for today the Lord has given Sisera into your hands: has not the Lord gone out before you? So Barak went down from Mount Tabor and ten thousand men after him.
15 當時上主用利劍在巴辣克前面擾亂了息色辣和他的車輛以及他的軍隊，息色辣下車，徒步逃跑了。
And the Lord sent fear on Sisera and all his war-carriages and all his army before Barak; and Sisera got down from his war-carriage and went in flight on foot.
16 巴辣克就追趕車輛和軍隊，直追到哈洛舍特哥因；息色辣的全軍都喪身刀下，一個也沒有剩下。息色辣死
But Barak went after the war-carriages and the army as far as Harosheth of the Gentiles; and all Sisera's army was put to the sword; not a man got away.
17 息色辣徒步逃到刻尼人赫貝爾的妻子雅厄耳的帳幕那裏，因為哈祚爾王雅賓和刻尼人赫貝爾的家族相安無事。
But Sisera went in flight on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin, king of Hazor, and the family of Heber the Kenite.
18 雅厄耳出來迎接息色辣，向他說：「我主! 請你躲起來，躲在我這裏，不必害怕! 」他就躲在她的帳幕裏；雅厄耳就用毯子蓋住他。
And Jael went out to Sisera, and said to him, Come in, my lord, come in to me without fear. So he went into her tent, and she put a cover over him.
19 息色辣對她說：「請給我一點水喝! 因為我渴了。」她就打開皮囊給他奶喝，然後又蓋住他。
Then he said to her, Give me now a little water, for I have need of a drink. And opening a skin of milk, she gave him drink, and put the cover over him again.
20 息色辣又向她說：「你站在帳幕門口，若有人來問你說：這裏有人嗎﹖你就回答說：沒有。」
And he said to her, Take your place at the door of the tent, and if anyone comes and says to you, Is there any man here, say, No.
21 那時赫貝爾的妻子雅厄耳取了一根帳棚上的木橛，手裏拿著鎚子，悄悄走到息色辣前，把木橛釘在他的太陽穴裏，一直釘到地上；那時他正疲乏熟睡，就這樣死去。
Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a tent-pin and a hammer and went up to him quietly, driving the pin into his head, and it went through his head into the earth, for he was in a deep sleep from weariness; and so he came to his end.
22 那時巴辣克鄭在追趕息色辣，雅厄耳出來迎接他，對他說：「來! 我給你看看你所追尋的人。」他來到她那裏，看，息色辣已躺在那裏死了! 木橛在他的太陽穴中。
Then Jael went out, and meeting Barak going after Sisera, said to him, Come, and I will let you see the man you are searching for. So he came into her tent and saw, and there was Sisera stretched out dead with the tent-pin in his head.
23 這樣，那一天天主在以色列子民面前制伏了客納罕王雅賓。
So that day God overcame Jabin, king of Canaan, before the children of Israel.
24 以色列子民的力量日漸強大，超過了客納罕王雅賓，直到將他消滅。
And the power of the children of Israel went on increasing against Jabin, king of Canaan, till he was cut off.
